Nuclear power is the most expensive way to make electricity - the slowest, most expensive and dangerous option we have. Always over budget and out of time - can’t say I’m unhappy to see the EA enforce nature protection rather than step aside for this man made disaster. We don’t need nuclear energy to achieve energy independence and 100% green on the grid. A delay to Hinkley matters very little in my view - the chances of it ever landing in 2030 were always slim.

@DaleVince Just think what the MOD could do with the £14+ billion the govt is blowing on Sizewell C...

@RhonddaBryant What about stopping Russian uranium for our nuclear power stations?

So how does the government feel about the billions it ploughed into #SizewellC now?

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey.

It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left.

Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season.

They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues.

This is a horrific disregard for nature.

(This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful?

​Let’s look at the facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.

You pressured Ukraine by cutting off weapons support entirely, constantly badmouthing us, and showing up at our doorstep waving Russian "peace plan" you demanded we sign immediately.

​And now, after Ukraine stands more firmly on its feet without your support, you realize you can't pressure us anymore. So your excuse is that you are tired and leaving?

​How about, for once, you actually support the victim, which is Ukraine instead of terrorist Russian regime? Send your team to Kyiv, support our fight, and apply real pressure on aggressor.

Sanction Russia and seize their shadow fleet instead of handing out sanction waivers. Do that, and maybe negotiations will magically become "fruitful."

Why on earth did we ever allow giant oil and gas companies to avoid paying tax here because they made losses in other parts of the world?

Do they pay tax here on profits made in other parts of the world - no. A bizarre loophole/allowance that our tax system is chock full of.

This is not a tax raid - it’s a degree of tax fairness restored.

We need more.

RSPB say: “My message to @Keir_Starmer and his team is this: ‘Get on with the things the UK public overwhelmingly want to see – nature’s decline isn’t inevitable; it’s a political choice. But the time to make the right choice is running out fast’."  https://t.co/sPafwrPFXE

Aerial view of Framlingham Castle, one of England’s best-preserved late 12th-century fortress castles. Built shortly after 1189 by Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, the vast curtain-walled stronghold became a major symbol of Norman power in East Anglia.
The castle later played a significant role in Tudor history. In July 1553, Princess Mary gathered supporters here after the death of Edward VI before successfully claiming the English throne as Queen Mary I. Thousands reportedly rallied to her cause at Framlingham during the succession crisis.

"Stop Sizewell C said the risks surrounding the project “could easily turn #SizewellC into a financial disaster” while the funding model meant its investors were “the only ones who can’t lose”.

Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.

The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.

This grifter must not become prime minister.

[Catherine Blaiklock @blaiklockBP]

The main things I learnt working with @Nigel_Farage
1. His word is not his bond.
2. He does not write emails - no paper trail.
3. He has zero ability to do any detail: 1-hour meetings turn into 56 minutes of Nigel talking about Nigel and 4 mins on the subject the meeting was about.
4. Nigel has no real friends - everyone and everything is expendable.
5. Nigel has enormous energy, but a lot of it is wasted because he drinks and parties too much.
6. Nigel is not an intellectual - he thinks Jordan Peterton is boring.
7. Nigel has spies.
8. Nigel loves money and spends it like water.
9. Nigel surrounds himself with rather facile young men like the convicted posh George.
10. Nigel does not really like working if it is not him being a showman - I cannot even imagine him reading a policy paper.
11. Nigel dictates tweets to Dan Dukes.
12. Nigel has a powerful lawyer behind the scenes who keeps files on people.
13. Nigel is vicious - the plastic sheen is a facade that cons so many people.
14. No idea if Nigel actually has any morality or values or what he believes in except fame and money.

That's Reform UK for you.
